Power Integrations SCALE-iDriver™ Series
The Power Integrations SCALE-iDriver™ family of single-channel gate driver ICs provides advanced safety and system-level protection features for IGBT and SiC MOSFET applications. These highly integrated devices combine Power Integrations' FluxLink™ isolation technology with a robust gate driver stage, offering superior reliability and performance.
SCALE-iDriver ICs are designed to simplify the design of high-power converter systems by integrating critical functions such as reinforced isolation, active clamping, short-circuit protection, and undervoltage lockout (UVLO). They are ideal for a wide range of applications including motor drives, industrial power supplies, solar inverters, and electric vehicle charging. LiTong Group, as an authorized PI distributor, provides comprehensive support for selecting and implementing SCALE-iDriver solutions.
The SCALE-iDriver series stands out for its exceptional common-mode transient immunity (CMTI), high peak output current capability, and compact footprint, enabling robust and efficient power conversion designs. Its integrated features reduce external component count, leading to smaller, more reliable, and cost-effective power systems.
LiTong FAE Review: "The SCALE-iDriver series is a game-changer for high-power applications. The integrated FluxLink isolation is incredibly robust, and the protection features are second to none. Our customers appreciate the simplified design process and the confidence that comes with using such a reliable gate driver. It's particularly effective in demanding industrial and automotive environments."

SCALE-iDriver™ Series FAQs
Q: What is FluxLink™ isolation in SCALE-iDriver?
A: FluxLink is Power Integrations' proprietary galvanic isolation technology that provides a highly reliable and robust isolation barrier, ensuring safe operation between the primary and secondary sides of the gate driver.
Q: Can SCALE-iDriver ICs be used for SiC MOSFETs?
A: Yes, many SCALE-iDriver devices are optimized for driving both IGBTs and SiC MOSFETs, offering the necessary drive strength and protection features for these advanced power switches.
Q: What is CMTI and why is it important for gate drivers?
A: CMTI (Common-Mode Transient Immunity) refers to a gate driver's ability to reject high-frequency noise that can occur across the isolation barrier. High CMTI is crucial in power converter applications to prevent false triggering and ensure reliable operation.
